My name is Mike McLaughlin and I am thrilled to be teaching your children in the wonderful Gregory Elementary School. I studied Elementary and Special education as well as History at La Salle University. The Day after graduation I continued my education there and earned a Master’s Degree by dual majoring in Elementary and Special Education. When I finished my schooling I decided to take my talents to the fantastic Long Branch school District and have loved working here since 2011.

Teaching has always been a love of mine and I am truly lucky to be able to it every day. When I am not in the classroom you can find me prepping for the classroom. But when I am taking a break from school I am always doing something active. I love playing basketball and will participate in just about any other sport. I also have a deep love for the ocean whether it is lifeguarding in the summer, surfing all year (even in the ice cold) or just going to relax with my friends and family. If I can’t be outside playing a sport chances are I am watching one on TV. Any NY Giants, LA Lakers, Knicks,Yankee, Devils, NFL or NBA game I can easily find joy in.
